Soccer

It's official.  I am a soccer mom!  Soccer is not a sport that I desired my girls to play.  I didn't like it as a kid and it seemed rather boring to watch.  Lila Grace changed my outlook and I love that she did.  We spent many hours on the sidelines of a soccer field.  Lila loves the game and caught on quickly.  She has great speed which keeps her in the game.  We are going to a winter skill clinic which should help her develop the necessary skills she needs to keep the ball under control. We are thrilled that she loves the sport and that it is a sport she can call her own.  Her big sister doesn't play which is a nice change for Lila.  No longer is she the little sister that has follows in her big sister's footsteps.

Here is my soccer girl!

Braces No More!

After a year of braces, my big girl is metal free.  Savannah is the first of three that need to go through this.  I have my fingers crossed that Evelyn will escape palate expansion.  First, the palate is expanded to make room for the teeth.  Once the permanent teeth fill in, braces are used to pull everything into place.  It was a relatively quick and painless process except for the strain on my pocket book!

Here is Savannah on her last day of braces. 
 Brace free and straight teeth.
